Depression, who is not depressed these days. I have been depressed regarding many things lately that has been happening. Some are personally, I have lost some close friends recently, a few passed away in the music industry that I grew up with for many years. My high school of 53 years old is going to be destroyed for condos and apartment buildings. I have a shitty neighbor so belligerent that is a story too long to explain. Then you got Isis destroying life and property, historic property for that matter.

I write to those still around and get no response and here I wrote in respons and same story. I am not sure what is going on any more.

Yes, it sucks to lose parts of your life. Both the first house I grew up in and the first I owned have been demolished. But I once knew a girl whose entire home town that she grew up in was demolished and no longer exists.

What's important, I think, is not to dwell too much on the past, but to keep doing new things: learning new stuff, seeing new places, having new experiences. I am most alive when I travel, I think.

@Ineligible As an artist and interested in history I care about what was created in the past that got us to today. I try not to dwell on the bad things that happened, It is for realistic experiences that it is difficult to ignore the past but to learn and to have fond memories that is part of you for the remainder of your life.. Yes it is sad when ones loose all they had and their memories are all they have.
